By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the
laws of the United States of America, including the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act, as amended (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.)
(IEEPA), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) (NEA),
section 5 of the United Nations Participation Act of 1945, as amended
(22 U.S.C. 287c) (UNPA), and section 301 of title 3, United States
Code,

I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, in
order to clarify the steps taken in Executive Order 12947 of January
23, 1995, as amended by Executive Order 13099 of August 20, 1998; and
Executive Order 13224 of September 23, 2001, as amended by Executive
Order 13268 of July 2, 2002, and Executive Order 13284 of January 23,
2003, in particular with respect to the implementation of section
203(b)(2) of IEEPA (50 U.S.C. 1702(b)(2)), hereby order:

Section 1. Section 4 of Executive Order 13224 is hereby amended to
read as follows:

"Sec. 4. I hereby determine that the making of donations of the
type of articles specified in section 203(b)(2) of IEEPA (50 U.S.C.
1702(b)(2)), by, to, or for the benefit of, any persons determined to
be subject to this order would seriously impair my ability to deal with
the national emergency declared in this order, and would endanger Armed
Forces of the United States that are in a situation where imminent
involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances,
and I hereby prohibit such donations as provided by section 1 of this
order. Furthermore, I hereby determine that the Trade Sanctions Reform
and Export Enhancement Act of 2000 (Title IX, Public Law 106387) shall
not affect the imposition or the continuation of the imposition of any
unilateral agricultural sanction or unilateral medical sanction on any
person determined to be subject to this order because imminent
involvement of the Armed Forces of the United States in hostilities is
clearly indicated by the circumstances."

Sec. 2. Section 3 of Executive Order 12947 is hereby amended to
read as follows:

"Sec. 3. I hereby determine that the making of donations of the
type of articles specified in section 203(b)(2) of IEEPA (50 U.S.C.
1702(b)(2)), by, to, or for the benefit of, any person whose property
or interests in property are blocked pursuant to section 1 of this
order would seriously impair my ability to deal with the national
emergency declared in this order, and I hereby prohibit such donations
as provided by section 1."

Sec. 3. (a) The Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with
the Secretary of State, is hereby authorized to take such actions,
including the promulgation of rules and regulations, and to employ all
powers granted to the President by IEEPA and the UNPA as may be
necessary to carry out the purposes of this order. The Secretary of
the Treasury may redelegate any of these functions to other officers
and agencies of the United States Government consistent with applicable
law. All agencies of the United States Government are hereby directed
to take all appropriate measures within their authority to carry out
the provisions of this order.

(b) Nothing contained in this order shall relieve a person from
any requirement to obtain a license or other authorization in
compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

(c) Amendments to Executive Orders made by this order shall take
effect as of the date of this order.

Sec. 4. This order is not intended to, and does not, create any
right, benefit, or privilege, substantive or procedural, enforceable at
law or in equity by a party against the United States, its departments,
agencies, entities, officers, employees, or agents, or any other
person.

Sec. 5. This order shall be transmitted to the Congress and
published in the Federal Register.
